Craigslist is a good start. Some shops have a $1 / gallon sale once in a while. The "as it grows" won't work :( These are not diapers for babies with different sizes or hand me down clothes.

Hunt the classifieds section in the news paper and also garage sales in the news paper.. if you have them check the local auctions. Spend about 1/2 hour a day looking for that tank. You'll find it. Hopefully sooner than later :)
oh bleave me i have been

Okay I don't understand, if they are willing to buy a tank "as it grows" why not just go ahead and buy it now?

Ya I really dont understand your parents. They say they wont get a new tank till it grows, but due to the size of the tank it is in it wont grow.

it will never grow in a small tank. You can atleast blame them when your puffer passes

Here is the problem. It will outgrow that tank very soon and you'll have to buy another one. If you buy a 29 now it will be the last tank you'll have to buy for the puffer. I'm not familiar with the other two.
